I actually woke up at 6.50am today. A first 6+ am kinda waking-up in a long time. All because Jason is flying off today haha.
So were Kailyn...and Mavis.
I almost couldn't make it in time to send him off lah!

Photos will be up soon, once Jason gets settled down hahaha provided he has internet hyak hyak. :X

Meanwhile, I've been having a taste of retail work and it's been fun! Although it's damn tiring and I am always very tempted to cab after work. But I'll think, "cabbing is gona take up 1/5 of my pay. nooo!"

and I'll hobble my way to the mrt station looking very tired and angry (can't help it lah, it's my eyessss) and try to forget that my feet HURT.

It's a whole new experience and I don't deny I get an indescribable sense of satisfaction whenever a customer smiles and is happy with their purchase. =D

well, it does help that I'm working in a leather handbag store. omg the bagsssss.

Everyday, Tai-Tais stream in; some alone, some with their hubbys. Sometimes, the husbands come by on their own, all in a bid to look for something to make their wives' day.

sweet!

most buy 1-2 items. some, buy 4-5 or even up to 8 bags. Depending on the type of skin, the price range is different. Crocodile skin is the most expensive; we even have to wear gloves when handling the bags.
This tai-tai bought about 4 croco bags man. gosh. and I think she paid in cash? woo.

another lucky lady merely said what she wanted and her hubby bought, and rather willingly too. In e end, they bought countless wallets and bags, python skins, croco skins, ostrich skins etc. ALL.

( i did get a lil chill when i first saw the snake skin bags. omg)


It's interesting enough to observe customer behaviour and tai-tai traits. hehehe.

some pics.

Got this from a friend's blog and I think it's very true.

Heatwave handover official date 24th Aug 2007.
I'm now the current-in transition-Promos n Publicity Personnel (lol) of Radio Heatwave.

I don't like how some people talk. Some people certainly didn't know the meaning of "diplomatic" if I were to use their words.

Sometimes, it's good to act blur and that's what I did. But do NOT for a split second start to even think I'm a pushover.
bloody fuck.

onto happier things~
Cold calling is quite fun hahaha.












































































KBox today with the guys!
Glen and Jason were late as usual...LOL.
Marcus...actually also late la. hahaha.
FUN ppl to go K with! wahahahaaaaa.






















Trying out this new video uploading thing. Glen singing "Calcutta" Dr Bombay that funny indianish song from Best '99 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he knows he's so gona go crazy...... =X

I really cannot stand the malaysian accent.

The 7pm show is only worth my attention because of the clothes the sisters wear on the show.

omg the LIAN BANG QIANG is getting on my nerves; I'm not even gona apologise for being mean.

:x

Finally a new post.

Yesterday marked the end of our last paper in poly life!

Mass Media in Singapore and Asia...

I was silently laughing to myself when I had to refer to the coverpage to write the module name...we've been calling it "m-a-s-i-n-a" for the longest time!

To think I used to think it was a malay lecturer.

"who's Masina?!!"

Poly Life's been very interesting and eventful. I dare say I've grown up the most in this phase of my life.

Dealt with people of all sorts; of course I haven't met all the bad *cough* people there are in this world (and I wouldn't want to) but I've learnt to judge people more effectively...
well the key phrase is simply
"don't let your guard down."

sucks to say that but it's quite true.

Although it was still up to last year that I couldn't believe I was in Ngee Ann as I'd never intended to enrol here, but I'm glad I did or I'd never have met this fun yet sane bunch :)

We're so sane that we're STIFF at Mambo ytd. HAHAHAHA.

Oh yes, to mark the last paper and well, celebrate it all ending, the lot of us went zouk ytd...
lol...I still rmb saying to Clarence "eh stay within 1 metre radius ok."

Shaoxing gang LOL, Terence, Kisha, and even Felix...who's our radio journ lecturer.

*hope I get the grade that I like*
LOL. that's a "B" for your info. cuz "A" is tooooo long gone.

Saw a few familiar faces...

I'm really glad I went last night...and good thing I managed to get my parents to pick me...hehe. Although that meant I had to leave prematurely (is there such a word?) but nvm, we'll have more fun nights huh?

We played the Guessing Game...wapiang kept losing...

No more studying...for now. weeeeee! It's time to par-tay!

Failed self shot 1:
Kisha: "omg your camwhoring skills have deteriorated lah!!"
haha...sometimes even long hands fail... xD

















































































































Joke of the night:
As Steph and me went to collect my bag, this guy suddenly came in front of me and extended his hand out and mumbled something and I only caught a "Michael".

so I went "Huh?" and looked ??? -.- ???

and he went off in a hurry.

LOL. what was that?

Later I realised he was trying to say "hello, 你叫什么名？我叫Michael".

LOL. I still can't stop laughing whenever I re-enact that scenario in my head.

Steph: what was that?! couldn't he have used a better pickup line?"

all I thought was he wanted to help me collect my bag. LOL.
what the.

Today's roadshow was -.-

NTUSU...CK...hahaha...

Our 2nd outfit!






















I'm here to help, Doreen! :P

















"cluck cluck"

NTU roadshow

I'm at NTU currently, using their wireless...thank goodness Xiaohua is studying here hehe.

There's a performance at 12.30...I think I'm too early...I was here at 11.15am.
nobody's here yet... :(

I'm sitting at the VA booth. Hope the sales will be good today lol...

I was blog-surfing and came across one entry of Charlene where she blogged about the Partyworld comp.

she felt insulted to be in the same comp as those who cmi and made it through!

Well, I feel somewhat insulted to be eliminated with the truly cmi.

not sad, not disappointed, some anger and most INSULTED.

If anyone had heard my round of peeps, you'd be wondering too.
ugh.

Caught <881> with my parents n sis ytd...
It feels nice to watch the movie with my whole family because my mum especially, doesn't like gg to the movies.

Ytd morning I thought it'd be great for us all to have a night out, and with this movie, it's even better since it relates to us all in some way!

Glad we all enjoyed it.

It was a touching show.

Before that, Marcus, Jason, Lina, Yingmin and me went to the Great World arcade HAHA. I loveeee the bball game even more now!

I don't like Great World toilets. screw "world" themes! yucks!

oh and Lina just had to spoil the movie for me again...blehhhh!

jh: ehh i realise after I read [HP n the deathly hallows] that you really kinda spoilt all the deaths for me lor.

Lina: yea, wad you thought we were lying??

I don't know if I should laugh or cry! xD

**********************************************************
Wow, if I didn't have a chance to chat with Yingmin ytd, I probably wouldn't get to know there were more unhappy people at the launch.

She, Marcus, Lina, Felicia actually came wanting to support Al and me, and here's what happened.

They got to the entrance and queued at theVIP queue which was empty.

They got re-directed to the General queue by the front ushers...saying
"please join the common queue."

YM: WHAT, now I'm a Commoner, eh?!

( I think having SIGNAGE IS REALLY A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR)

She was pissed at the way the re-direction was phrased but nevertheless, she still went to the check out the "common" queue which was beyond long...and rather unbearable under the sweltering heat that afternoon.

So the lot of them went to the seats outside Powerhouse and awhile later when they decided to check back at the queue, it was gone.
:O

She added that in the end, apparently, they stopped ticking against names in the list and just let everyone in. how can???

She was unhappy with the xiao mei mei ushers too. LOL...

Then because they went in in this manner, she got pissed and didn't take the goodie bag, and the drink coupon wasn't given to them as a result.

After they went in, they wanted to go get a drink, but were refused because they didn't have drink coupons.

YM: wtf you gimme one coke or green tea then so scared cuz i no drink coupon? I can go GIANT buy cartons to return u lor...

LOL. she's hilariousssss.

And in their fury, they walked out of Dragonfly muttering "BYE ALYSSA" and went out and she even told me the xiao mei mei said "whoa 他们真的走了"

Poor Alyssa must have looked lost haha...

YM: sorry man JH, we really wanted to go support you one lor...but ah aiyooo the organising."


Ok granted, this may be Brandon's *cough* virgin organising stint...but he has to pull up his socks a whole lot to prevent such unpleasant things from happening in ARC 2 if he's gona be helping out.

He no experience but at least have common sense can?

woh, didn't mean to be Mean.

I have to keep in mind what we learnt in WISP...that everyone's different and they exist for a different reason from yours...
一种米养百种人。
I rather he detest me while I give honest but constructive comments than to phrase things a little too nicely and have him lose the main point.

Pictures of the album launch~

At VA, YY just did my makeup and I'm just slacking (and got caught). *which explains the constipated face*

















Pei Xian n me. Our "manager" ah. hahaha!



































Arrival at St James Dragonfly~

RP Roadshow:

































unglam:






























































LOL! Let me help, Doreen. =X

Ytd was a great day~

(Celester so kanchiong...I haven't got time to blog and thank everybody he shoot me liao...lol)

Ytd was the Launch of the ARC Genesis album!

It was held at St James Dragonfly...

Prior to that, I woke up rather early and went to get my hair done before rushing down to VA to do makeup etc.

Then Leon/Agnes drove some of us over and while the rest cabbed over, we were familiarising ourselves with the venue.

There were some unpleasant things that happened...but let's not talk about it. But I did felt so much better after I cried.
:)

Ok here's a great shoutout of THANKS!!! to everyone who came to support me/Alyssa, Yanyi etc, and all of Revolution and this event.

Thank you to all of you who took time off to come support me. I don't know exactly who came and who didn't cuz some didn't come last minute and some came from Alyssa and YY's list. I was so confused!

Wanying, Late but still made it! wheee! oh and your 2 friends too haha.

Jason, Clarence, Zhuxiu...thanks ah! Although I'm such an AH MAH in school that no one will probably believe I sing on stage...but you guys still came to support me.

Eunice, Yingmin, Felicia, Lina...thanks for coming haha.
"the chicken's ready!"
(actually I don't even know if they know of my blog's existence HAHA.)

Lwssom peeps and Kiwi,
CELESTER (I type big big ok...haha.), Weisheng, Sonia, Catherine, Kiwi...thanks for coming! We all share this passion and surely such events carry greater meaning for every one of us.

Desmond + 10 friends :D
Dearest cousin...thanks for asking your friends to come haha. I really appreciate you help and your support.
(ok la, if got Jolin events and I have tix I will let you go HAHA!)

Iris and SF :D
Thanks for the flowers! Nice!
"haha pink colour...must be Iris choose it one right?!"
hehe.
Thanks for the neverending support and always trying to find front row seats so I can spot you and smile until my eyes disappear LOL.

Puey Yee...the composer of my song. Without your song I won't be able to sing this happy catchy song :)

my parent's friends...really glad they came all the way and took time off for this.

and my family...
I was really sad when my mum apologised because of the unpleasant thing that happened there.
It's not your fault, mum.

I really hate the way that guy does things.
He doesn't reflect and points fingers immediately.
REFLECT!
You've really messed with the wrong person.

I don't mean to sound like a rogue -_-
It was bad Serafina and Lilian saw me ranting like a mad woman in the toilet and Yismin saw me burst in with my eyes red and the rest of the artistes seeing me in that state.
-shy-
But I was too indignant about his attitude to feel shy at that moment.

And I'm glad it didn't ruin my performance.

Thanks again for those who came. This carried a special meaning to me and your involvement by coming to see me really touched me. Thanks to those who bought the cd too...omg that's like unbelievable! haha! :D

This wasn't like any other competition and for those who couldn't make it due to lame reasons...I'm just disappointed you couldn't be part of this musical milestone.
This meant something to me, but you guys failed to see that and I guess...well, what can I say?

------------------------------------------------------------------
By getting involved in an actual album, albeit small scaled one, but it really made me see,

there are more things to an album than the artiste.
Without the background support, who's the artiste?!
We'd just be plain looking people who probably can hold a tune, THAT'S ALL.

Also, the world doesn't revolve just around the artiste. The backstage crew, etc all those who work in the background work just as hard or harder than the artiste and earn so much less...ayo.

and it's very important to carry yourself as a humble person. There's soooo much more to learn. So what if you've got a headstart or a little bit more knowledge than the person next to you?
There are still things to be learnt and we should face each day with the right mentality.

The road has just begun.

Cd-Packing skills

I ended lecture a little earlier ytd...and was thinking of either
1. Go Butter Factory
2. Go home.

Then, Steph didn't wana go and nobody else seemed to be going (Germaine, Faye...I don't know, I didn't ask lol)

So I thought I'd head home...

Then I saw a missed call from PX and in the end, I headed to The Plaza at Beach Rd to help with cd-packing LOL.

It was quite fun leh xD

Well, at least I've got cd packing skills to fall back on if I can't be a radio deejay...hurhurhur.

It was only 1000 pieces; Can you imagine those people like Avril Lavigne or Jolin who sells MILLIONS of cds?

Poor cd-packers. :X

Some pics, credits to Doreen*
can you spot my lyrics insert??
























More pics when Doreen sends them to me :)

Spoof

This spoof got me laughing the first time I heard it.

Creative man, the 93.3fm deejays n their team!
Esp Chong Qing who re-wrote the lyrics.

I hate to do such promotions for any performances or events I am involved in...
BUT, just in case you're going for the album launch this saturday and
happen to be reading this
and happen to have some spare cash,

you can consider buying the compilation album on that day...it'd be cheaper than when it's in stores...(c'mon, it's probably like my one and only appearance in a commercial album...dots)

hehehe.

*runs back to the hole to hide*

WTF.

Nan Quan Ma Ma can't sing LIVE.

I am so disappointed.
It can't be that all 4 of them caught a bloody damn cold and sucked together on tv?

omg...I still can't believe I just heard all that shit on tv.

-------------------------------------------------------------
sometimes I wonder if I'm dyslexic.
I just typed "WTF" as "FTW".
doh.

Ytd I went to play the arcade bball game with Catherine.
I tried the lower machine this time round, and it was so much easier than the usual ones.

My 2nd game and already I was 4 points away from the day's high score!
















My 4th game and I broke and set a new record! LOL.



















------------------------------------------------------------
I can't sing 本来 now! why!
My stupid throat still isn't fully healed.
I hate such obstacles, gets me down all the time.
Of all things it's gotta be an illness which is so not within my controls.
I am already trying to be as healthy as I can.

I think I really shouldn't have eaten the chocolate donuts ytd.
C'mon, Launch is in a week and quarter finals is in a wk+ too.

Don't play le, JH.

Random

Clarence and Kenneth are looking for Christmas balls for Advert. Here's how a random convo went:

Me: *bangs table* AH SPOTLIGHT!

Clarence: have??

Steph: *bangs table* NOT ALWAYS!

Me: have wad! They are so crafty!

Everyone: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clarence: Spotlight is a person.

Me: HAHAHA. A Cunning person!

HAHAHHAHAHHAHA.

------------------------------------------------------------------
The other day Steph and me were heading towards Hark to listen to the performance from Bras Basah.
We wanted to take a bus (7) to PS area, and I saw it across the road approaching from far.

Immediately, I turned and looked worried and said "HOW??" and I actually spun around.
lol..........................................................
bimbo.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The NP Library is playing National songs to put us in the mood.
lalala.

There are certain people in your lives whom you do not know personally, yet their presence makes a great deal of impact on you.

I'm talking about great leaders, war heroes, and even that school crush who probably don't even know of your existence.

Sometimes, some of them may question their need to be around, that nobody cares.



But I care. I do...
But they'll never know. He'll never know.
But it's enough to keep me going.

Noise.

Oh my, please let them stay out
Someone shut out the noise and hide their remains.

It's getting harder to concentrate on my thoughts.

I feel like I'm stuck in time while everything moves past me with such speed I cannot comprehend.

It's just one of those moments.




Anyway, I'm glad my own random hummings are going somewhere near what we can all call a "song".
Met up with the VA folks ytd as I brought Puey Yee over to get introduced to them and the terms and conditions of the album.

We both agree Lwssom is getting too commercial. Perhaps too much for its own good.
Everyone seems to be leaving. Its presence seems to repel us to better grounds...like...VA?
or Hark?

I've finally let a proper composer hear my tunes... :)
I don't think I'll be able to meet Chen Ji about this song I've been meaning to let him hear now that I've let Puey Yee hear it and CJ's always jetting around someplace else out of our sunny isle.

I'm very glad something's done about my tune01 and tune02.
